Spellman's Scorecard: Some things just make no sense

Let's get this straight:

Roy Williams did not drop those passes.

OK, aaannd …

Adam Dunn knew there were only two outs in the inning.

Aaannd …

It's still that missed popup by Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney and not the gazillion runs against that cost the Cubs that game.

Aaannd …

Those pilot twins who love nonstop flights are an absolute joy to watch on an endless loop.

Aaannd …

Disgusting:

Still can't get that image of fans brawling in the parking lot at the Niners-Raiders game out of my mind. Why, oh, why, would anybody pay to attend an NFL game until security is ramped up … a ton?

Seems to make about as much sense as a radio broadcast of the Air and Water Show, but what do I know?

Ouch:Park Ridge officials reportedly want to remove all those Honorary Jim Hendry Way street signs.Evidently, Wheeling has offered to take them in exchange for one Hintz Road sign and a Class A pitching prospect.BTW:If the NFL wants help with their security, may I suggest a call to St. Viator?None of that San Fran nonsense would have happened under Pat Mahoney's watch.Question:If the Cubs put Crane Kenney on waivers, would anyone claim him?Didn't see that coming:Thomas Jones reportedly got in a fight with another teammate?What?No way!And still ...:No sign of Dayan Viciedo on the South Side.That's just hard to fathom.Rush to glory:Julius Peppers is officially the most unsung superstar in town. Kind of amazing considering it's Bearz, defense, Bearz #8230;Fancy pants:If you like golf and enjoy dressing presidential casual #8212; light blue shirt, khaki pants, blue blazer #8212; the Ryder Cup event Sept. 26 at the Chicago Theater is perfect for you.Sorry Sori:This tidbit about Alfonso Soriano from ESPN's David Schoenfield over the weekend: #8220;Among 188 major-league players with at least 350 plate appearances, Soriano's .281 on-base percentage ranks 181.#8221;The real concern:For the Bears, it isn't Roy Williams' hands; it's Lance Briggs' health.On the rise:Arlington Park raises its purses again:The good: Purses are up more than 27 percent in just the past few weeks.The bad: They are still well below where they should be.Hello Gov'na.She gone:Danica Patrick has opted to race full time on the NASCAR circuit.Gotta admit that's kind of a yawn for me.Wisdom from the hood:Patriots coach Bill Belichick doesn't say much, but when he does talk sometimes he comes up with thought-provoking gems. Like what he told ESPN.Boston about extra points:#8220;Philosophically, plays that are non-plays shouldn't be in the game. I don't think it is good for the game. Extra points, when you're up to the 99 percent range in extra points it's not a play.#8220;Let's move the ball back to the 15-20 yard line and not make it a tap-in. Make them kick it. Same thing with the kickoff return; if you're just going to put the ball on the 20, put the ball on the 20.#8221;O'er heated:Oh, Goshen College, look what you've stirred up by opting to play #8220;America the Beautiful#8221; instead of the national anthem before your games.A-maize-ing:The new trophy designed for the winner of the annual Iowa-Iowa State football game was scrapped because it had too much to do with corn and not enough to do with football.#376;Mike Spellman's Scorecard column appears Fridays in the Daily Herald.
